I'm a Travel Editor Who Swears By Breezy Linen Sets for Summer—and This $26 One Needs to Be on Your Radar
After careful selection, I chose a two-piece short set for a recent trip to Savannah with a friend and fellow editor. I wanted something airy and preferably a set with shorts that offered me enough coverage for different occasions and activities, but that would also keep me cooler than pants. This set has since gone out of stock, but I've found an identical set that's even more affordable, the Yming Two-piece Linen Set. At just $26, it's a total steal.
When my friend and I met at the hotel lobby to start our day with a bike ride that would eventually end with a whiskey tasting in the evening, we were shocked to discover that we had on identical sets from Amazon! I wore the khaki version, while my friend opted for the black. Yes, we were twinning—and no, no one changed. We both wanted to wear something comfortable since we'd be out for hours exploring, and the outfit is just that good.
The Yming Two-piece Linen Set is lightweight, breathable, and comfortable for all-day wear, especially in the summer months when it starts to get unbearably hot and humid. While I first busted out my linen set in Savannah, I have also more recently rocked it in Florida in 90-degree temperatures—and I wasn't dying to take it off. The fabric kept me as cool, didn't show sweat, and remained polished after hours of wear—sightseeing, riding beach cruisers, and gorging on southern delicacies. The Yming version has a similar fabric blend, but with the benefit of cotton for extra breathability.

The tank has a modern square neck, and while it has a slightly cropped and boxy fit, I find it flattering and easy to move in. Plus, it's just long enough to tuck the front into the shorts if you want more of a tailored look. The shorts feature an elastic waistband and side zipper for easy on and off, and the length is perfect. The flattering pleats on the front make them easy to dress up or down. Not to mention, they have pockets—what's not to like?
Given the affordable price tag and material, I recommend washing the set in cold water and air drying to avoid the fabric shrinking.
Thanks to the set's versatility, you can wear it just about anywhere. A reviewer wrote that it looks "so pretty on," adding that they "love that you can dress it up." I've seen travelers opt for this style for everyday wear and European summers.

The identical top and shorts I own truly might be the hardest-working garments in my carry-on, since they can also be worn with other items in my vacation wardrobe to free up packing space or help me travel light. I can pair the square-neck top with a sleek pair of denim and block heels for nighttime and wear the shorts as a swimsuit cover-up with a flowy button-down shirt. The outfit options are endless.
With two months left of summer, you don't want to sleep on this stylish Yming Two-piece Linen Set. And now that you've discovered how convenient sets make getting dressed and packing for trips, you might be looking for more comfy and stylish options to add to your travel wardrobe. Keep scrolling for more lightweight Amazon two-piece sets for summer.
At the time of publishing, the price started at $26.

To host UN climate talks, Brazil chose one of its poorer cities. That's no accident
NEW YORK (AP) — When world leaders, diplomats, business leaders, scientists and activists go to Brazil in November for the United Nations' annual climate negotiations, poverty, deforestation and much of the world's troubles will be right in their faces — by design. In past conference cities — including resort areas and playgrounds for the rich such as Bali, Cancun, Paris, Sharm El-Sheikh and Dubai — host nations show off both their amenities and what their communities have done about climate change. But this fall's conference is in a high-poverty city on the edge of the Amazon to demonstrate what needs to be done, said the diplomat who will run the mega-negotiations in Belem known as COP30, or Conference of Parties. What better way to tackle a problem than facing it head on, however uncomfortable, COP30 President-designate André Corrêa do Lago, a veteran Brazilian diplomat, said in an interview with The Associated Press at United Nations headquarters. 'We cannot hide the fact that we are in the world with lots of inequalities and where sustainability and fighting climate change is something that has to get closer to people,' do Lago said. That's what Brazilian President President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has in mind, he said. 'When people will go to Belem, you are going to see a developing country and city with considerable infrastructure issues still with, in relative terms, a high percentage of poverty and President Lula thinks it's very important that we talk about climate thinking of all the forests, thinking of poverty and thinking of progress,' do Lago said. 'He wants everybody to see a city that can improve thanks to the results of these debates.' The rich and powerful — as well as poorer nations, activists and media — are already feeling a bit of that discomfort even before getting to Belem. Even with two years of notice, Brazil is way behind in having enough hotel rooms and other accommodations for a global conference that has had 90,000 attendees. The official United Nations COP30 website says Brazil would have an official booking portal by the end of April. But specific plans weren't announced till last week when Brazil said it arranged for two cruise ships with 6,000 beds to help with lodging, saying the country is ensuring 'accommodation for all countries' and starting a system where 98 poorer nations have the option to reserve first. Skyrocketing lodging costs are a problem, do Lago conceded. Some places have been charging $15,000 a night for one person and activists and others have talked of cutting back. But he said prices 'are already going down,' even as local media report otherwise. Do Lago said it will be a local holiday so residents can rent out their homes, adding 'a significant supply of apartments.' Big year for climate negotiations This is a significant year for climate negotiations. The 2015 Paris climate agreement required countries to come up with their own plans to reduce the emissions of heat-trapping gases from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas and then to update those plans every five years. This year nearly every nation — the United States, the No. 2 carbon dioxide emitter and historically biggest polluter, withdrew from the accord earlier this year — has to submit their first plan update. Most of those updates are already late, but the United Nations wants countries to complete them by September when world leaders gather in New York. That would give the United Nations time to calculate how much they would curb future climate change if implemented — before the COP six weeks later. UN Secretary-General Antonio-Guterres, in an interview with AP, reiterated what officials want in those plans: that they cover each nation's entire economy, that they include all greenhouse gases and that they are in line with efforts to limit long-term human-caused warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times. That target is the Paris agreement goal. And it's tough since the world is only a couple of tenths of a degree away and last year even temporarily shot past the 1.5 degree mark. Do Lago said he expects the countries' plans will fall short of keeping warming below the 1.5 degree mark, so tackling that gap will be a crucial element of negotiations. Some big things aren't on agenda, like $1.3 trillion for poorer nations Some of the negotiations' most important work won't be on the formal agenda, including these plans, do Lago said. Another is a road map to provide $1.3 trillion in financial help to poorer nations in dealing with climate change. And finally, he said, Brazil 'wants very much to talk about nature, about forests.' The nearby Amazon has been an important part of Earth's natural system to suck large amounts of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, but deforestation is a major threat to that. At times, parts of the Amazon have gone from reducing carbon dioxide in the air to increasing it, a 2021 study found. On Wednesday, the United Nation's top court ruled that a clean and healthy environment is a basic human right, a decision that may bolster efforts to come up with stronger action at the November climate conference, some activists said. 'Failure of a state to take appropriate action to protect the climate system ... may constitute an internationally wrongful act,' court President Yuji Iwasawa said during the hearing. Do Lago said the challenge for countries is to think of these emission-reduction plans not as a sacrifice but as a moment to change and grow. 'One of the objectives of this COP is that we hope we will be remembered as a COP of solutions, a COP in which people realized that this agenda is creating more opportunities and challenges,' do Lago said. ___ The Associated Press' climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.
